Now that I have got into Bristol UWE

I am incredibly keen on setting up a group or even just occasional meets
in the city centre or better places if people suggest( i don't know Bristol at all)

I will be moving into mah house early September and will have a week or 2 before lectures start

it will be fantastic if it does get some interest
because let's face it know body likes bocking by themselves

cheers

Hi,

I'll keep an eye out while I'm on my travels round Bristol and let you know when I find somewhere.

In the bad weather I can book my local gym up again. They provided crash mats and high jump bar etc last time. The gym is about 30 mins drive from the centre of Bristol.

Not to many. Tiff may be about as her bf lives in Bristol. There may be one or two others. There is a bus that stops right outside the gym, but it's probably about an hours ride.

Parlby, I have seen your message on our guestbook. Of course you will be welcome to join us in Cardiff, not sure what it costs on the train though.

We'll probably have gym sessions twice a week come september.

I don't think my projump-skyrunner hybrids can handle much more punishment

Nero · « **Reply #11 on:** June 23, 2010, 12:53:21 PM »

i have a spare set of skyrunners frames, you can have them if you wanna pay postage lol

spawnyb · « **Reply #12 on:** June 23, 2010, 01:14:15 PM »

If there are Cardiff meets, I may well drive over anyway Parlby, so could always pick you up on the way through.

Its only just over an hour for me all the way by car.

RRparlbystumble · « **Reply #16 on:** June 25, 2010, 03:57:58 PM »

yeah you'll spend more time bocking and less time helping me rapair my stilts

and i'll still try adn form the bristol bockers if nero was serious about sending me the sky runner frames i should at least have 2 pairs of stilts to take to bristol with me

and i'll come down ever half term break

for example Halloween
we are wearing full length grim reaper costumes over the stilts

and going out on the prowl

I should be around a lot, boyfriend was in Clifton Down and is now in Westbury On Thyme. If it's in Cardiff I may have to ask Graham nicely for a lift & suchems. Or there's a train.

Hoping to get into UWE next year too, so hopefully I'll be there more often!

Hi Al,

Following your request for bocking spots in the area, whilst it's not actually in Bristol Centre, they have just opened a big new Skate Park near me.

It's about 30 mins by car / an hour on the bus from Bristol, but only 10 mins walk from the gym we used. Would maybe be suitable for day out, couple of hours in the gym with the crash mats and high jump etc, then visit to this place to scare the skateboarders. Tee Hee. There are other places nearby too.

Only just opened this week so the problem might not be whether it suitable for bocking, but more like whether we can get space with all the skaters and bikers there.

See Pics. -

RRparlbystumble · « **Reply #22 on:** July 27, 2010, 01:00:13 PM »

park looks pretty schweet

in saltash me and hammy (another RR) are hated by skaters in salt mill skate park for bocking round
there
one of them was like "ha it's pointless you can't do grab's or anything on those s**tty stilts"
so i went and did a double spring grab and a back scratcher.
that shut him up.

guess me and you are the founders of the BB's

haha.

Locky · « **Reply #23 on:** July 27, 2010, 01:51:22 PM »

Skate park looks great, count us in on this

spawnyb · « **Reply #24 on:** July 27, 2010, 08:39:00 PM »

I'll wander down to the skate park over the next few days with stilts on, and see if I get bottled off straight away. lol

If I don't then I can look at booking something in September maybe.

When did you say you were going to be around Al?
